20 Useless Facts You Probably Didn’t Need To Know

14. Barbie's Last Name Is Roberts

It'd be a surprise if someone, somewhere in the world hadn't changed their name to 'Barbara Millicent Roberts' before now as some sort of creepy tribute to the legendary children's toy. Oh, you didn't know that this was Barbie's full name? What kind of a rock have you been living under all these years?

Only kidding. Even if anyone did know that Barbie's surname was Roberts, no self-respecting adult would admit it in public.

The Barbie-related facts don't stop there. Her long time lover, Ken is actually called Ken Carson, and the fictional pair had split before getting back together on Valentine's Day in 2011. Some people have way too much time on their hands. That includes whomever runs Barbie's Facebook page and took the time to change her status to "In A Relationship".
